Spring Awakening announces new venue, full lineup for 2016 festival

With less than 45 days before the festival’s five-year anniversary, Spring Awakening Music Festival (SAMF) organizers today revealed the full artist lineup in addition to announcing a venue change to Chicago’s Addams/Medill Park.

In February, SAMF organizers announced the festival would relocate to Jackson Park due to scheduling conflicts at its usual home at Solider Field. But then a separate scheduling conflict arose at Jackson Park which led to the event being moved again to Addams/Medill Park.

The new venue will provide attendees with easy public transportation options from around the city. Addams/Medill Park is a short walk from the CTA Pink Line trains at the 18th Street and Polk Street stops, as well as the Blue Line trains at the Racine stop. It is also accessible from the Ashland, Roosevelt, and 18th St CTA buses.
